The very Flyby took place between November 7 and November 20 with the Closest Approach on November 13,2007 at 20:58 UTC. Besides this event also data are available for the Passive Checkout PC7 taking place on January 7-8, 2008. The magnetometer consists of two sensors, the OB and the IB sensor, mounted on a spacecraft boom. The instrument provides 3 component magnetic field vector data measured by both sensors. In this data set the calibrated and averaged and disturbance corrected data can be found. Magnetic field data are given in nanotesla. EAR2 RPC-MAG Data Archive ========================= a) S/C DATA =========== CODMAC Level/Type Data Type Data Content 2 / EDITED Data table RAW TS of OB,IB,HK data The data can be found in the DATA\EDITED\2007\NOV DATA\EDITED\2008\JAN directories. These directories have three subdirectories for HK, IB, and OB data. b) Supporting files =================== Supporting files for the Archive user include PDS descriptions, documents, and searchable indices. These have been organized into four directories one level below the root: CATALOG, DOCUMENT,INDEX. Structure of the volume ======================= AAREADME.TXT (PDS required introduction to the data set) VOLDESC.CAT (PDS required volume description of the data only) ../CATALOG/CATINFO.TXT (list of catalog files) *.CAT (Mission, spacecraft, instrument, data, references) ../DOCUMENT/DOCINFO.TXT (list of documents) *.DOC (WORD documents) *.ASC (ASCII documents) *.PDF (PDF documents) *.TEX (LaTeX documents) ../INDEX/INDXINFO.TXT (Description of the contents of the index directory) INDEX.LBL (PDS LABEL file for INDEX.TAB) INDEX.TAB (Index of the data set in tabular format) ../DATA/EDITED/*.TAB (MAG data, 3 components presented as ASCII tables) *.LBL (PDS LABELS of the MAG data files) The ROSETTA project decided that the data would be archived in the PDS format. Consequently, the layout of this volume and the labels for each file conform the PDS/PSA guidelines.
